This is justβ¦totally unprecedented. The WBC has had tiebreaker confusion before (Mexico/Italy in 2017) but never anything even remotely like this that I can recall.

USA to quarters if Italy beats Mexico
If Mexico beats Italy, a 3-way tie, all 1-1 vs. others. next tiebreaker: runs allowed / def. outs
USA 11 R/54 outs (.2037)
Mexico 5 R/24 outs (.2083)
Italy 6 R/27 outs (.2222)
Mexico wins 9-inning game w/1-4 runs, USA is out
Mex. win with 5+ runs, Italy out
Gonna sleep in the tarp roll!
"We wanna win this game, even though our ticket is punched to the quarterfinals." Oooooof...OR is Mark DeRosa secretly Italian?
This is a crazy situation!
This is wild.
Said on the broadcast tonight that the US was through to the quarters based on that win over Mexico, but with the tiebreakers in play, especially giving up eight to Italy, they are not. And honestly, it ainβt looking good.
WOW
Jared Keeso would you like to hang out sometime
sorry the Italy-US score is what now in the when now

THE FOULEST COMPUTER
I have never and will never click a button that says "Rewrite with AI" and wish I could punch, in the brain, whatever tech bro dorks who think I should.
Baseball is a game and games are meant to be fun. Fun also includes amazing production values from the gameday operations people.
Hahahahahaha that is amazing
That is insane
I donβt blame ya. But it was still cool! π
Edwin DΓazβs entrance *in Puerto Rico* is one of the most electric moments Iβve ever witnessed in sports.
SAME! Itβs so annoying!
Listen to the crowd pop for Darell Hernaizβs introduction tonight.
The tarp coming off the field at Hiram Bithorn Stadium

Ryan Rowland-Smith, rudely, eating an apple in front of me.
The other day, I told Ryan I canβt bite into apples because my two front teeth are fake (true!) and heβs been just crrrrrrushing apples in front of me ever since. Rude.
Hahahahah that's awesome!
